This is Leroy. He told me he was trying to get off the streets. I gave him some money and I asked to take his photo. He seemed to not mind and we wished each other a good day. I know this is not a perfect focus image, but with street shots and manual focus lens, I am still learning how to get it right the first time around. I'll get there.

This was my top pick - a wonderful portrait in every way: subject, framing, detail, tones. Congratulations on the HM.
eta Do you know I never noticed the softness of the nose until this very minute when I read YOUR apology about focus and went back to see what you meant. That's now strongly the personality and processing carried this for me.
